There's a Chevy Silverado ad running where the guy is trying to find a place where he can't get a cell phone signal that's beyond annoying. Um, you could just TURN THE loving PHONE OFF!

The VW Sign and Drive ads can go right to hell. Especially the "Let's go to Vegas" one. Those two fuckers would get eaten alive in Vegas.

After seeing another one of those Western Sky loan ads, I decided to look them up. If you borrow $5000, you'll end up paying over $40,000 back. "Yes, it's expensive" is the understatement of the loving century!

DJExile posted:Isn't that if you hold the loan for like a year or longer though? I thought most of these places were intending them as short-term. According to their site, the $5k loan has a payback schedule of 84 payments of $486.58. I suppose you could pay it off earlier, but I imagine more than a few people wouldn't.

Rirse posted:Anyway, I'm really tired of the new Dish Network(?) ad where it implies if you use cable, your grandson will be some horrible mistake from a biker daughter somehow. That's DirecTv. I'm tired of the Vonnage anti-bundle ads. Especially the one where the idiot husband (shocker - a dumb husband) somehow thinks his wife is referring to their baby when she rips on their phone company bundle.

raditts posted:What is with those commercials? They show all the time for a few months and then they disappear for like 5 years or whenever the next video format comes out. Aside from them showing VHS tapes / DVDs / HD-DVDs / Blu-Rays in the commercial, it's been like the same commercial for the last 15 years or so. The commercial doesn't seem to say it, but I believe the restoration was done by Legend Films. The fine folks who give us Rifftrax.

U.T. Raptor posted:What exactly is JCPenney doing], anyway? I have no idea what the point those commercials are trying to make actually is. Instead of having regular sales, they just decided to say, "gently caress it, we'll just lower our prices to be more competitive with Walmart and Target all the time."

Ever wish you had sonic hearing?quote:1. Of or relating to audible sound: a sonic wave. So, Micro Plus will allow me to have hearing at the speed of sound? Or will it give me extremely exciting and fast-placed hearing?

Just caught an ad for Selldvdsonline.com, a company that buys DVDs & CDs. I went to their website and you have to enter the UPC code and they'll make you an offer. I put in the UPC code for my Criterion Robocop. The offer? Ten cents.  Then I put in the MST3K Volume 10 (the original with the now-discontinued Godzilla vs Megalon). They offered $7.80. Yeah, I'm gonna pass.

I wish they could stop advertisers from saying "Buy now and get one free! just pay full shipping and handling". If you have to pay anything, it's not "free".

McSpanky posted:Just like those goddamn "rhyme a bunch of disconnected things, hey 5% cash back on your Discover (or whatever the gently caress) credit card!" commercials. Apparently literally spouting random bullshit sells stuff, drat I should've become an advertising guru. The thing about the Discover ads is that the "5% cash back" ruins the rhyming scheme.

Mister E posted:But he DID have everything to do with raising him. That's the "joke" of the movie. The mom who raped Sandler went to jail and for reasons unbeknownst to anyone sane, baby Andy Samberg was given to child Adam Sandler. Hey look, it's Adam Sandler doing an obnoxious voice. That's new! I hope this takes out Samberg's career, too.

McSpanky posted:Is my math retarded as hell, or are you seriously going to pay back $490,000 over seven years on a $5,000 loan? Please tell me I'm as dumb as Fry. You're off by a factor of 10. The payback would be about $40k (84 pmts @$486.58 according to their website). The idea, I'm guessing, is that you don't take that long to pay it back. I'm surprised some consumer advocate group hasn't tested them out. I seem to recall there being a blurb about no penalty for early payback.

McSpanky posted:poo poo, I thought I misplaced a decimal or something. But yeah, I guess technically it's not illegal if there's both an extensive repayment period and no penalty for early repayment. Still pretty drat expensive, I can't really imagine non-exploitative situations where someone would need $5k "tomorrow" that badly and could also afford to pay off substantially more than $500 a month thereafter. It would have to be an extreme situation like you were being foreclosed on and have to come up with big money quickly. Or you really suck at managing your credit and the creditors are breathing down your neck.

Can we bitch about internet ads? I hate all of those [A POWERFUL ENTITY] Hates this [MAN/WOMAN/THING]. You know the ones: Language Professors hate this man! Supposedly the ad will tell you how to learn a foreign language in 10 days. I'm pretty sure a language professor wouldn't give a flaming rat's rear end one way or another.

There was a huge thread where everyone realized that they had seen that commercial but nobody had any VHS tapes with a copy of it or could find any trace of it on the internet. Ah, yes. That was nearly as epic as the search for the Mario Brothers porno.
